"Barrel is old and vell used. Maybe been overheated once or twice. Makes barrel expand and cause spread to increase. Need new barrel mounted and calibrated. Also could happen from bullet scraping metal out of barrel."

"I'd noticed that the rifling has some slight nicks and worn spots but I'm no gunsmith so I didn't know if they were significant enough to make a difference. Whats a ballpark figure for the work?"

Stalker looked at the troll and considered for a moment then raised his Sight to more thoroughly and accurately evaluate him, "Gunsmithing is typically a support role. Do you have any particular specialty to bring to a more active role?"
If the speed and accuracy of his work was as good as his evaluation of his weapon, he had just found himself a new gunsmith but a general, active role in a run was a different beast altogether.

He stands "I bring about 3 more feet than you." and surprising quick for not being wired pulls a knife out and being close quarters is uncomfortable close to Stalker.

"And I forget to mention I good with blades too." and with the same quickness sheathes the blade then calmly sits back down and takes a sip of his coffee.

As Patch slid his enormous bulk back into his chair, Stalker grinned up at him and chuckled slightly, "I have no doubt that you can handle yourself in a fight, my friend. My curiosity was more directed at any less than obvious skills you may possess. Corporate security systems, demolitions, piloting skills, medical skills, that sort of thing. Intelligent muscle can always find work but its nice to know that you don't also have to pay someone else because you need a pilot or an explosives expert. No reason to split the earnings more ways than you have need to."

Raven finished her meal and was sure to tip Issac. She looked over to Stalker "Thanks for lunch again. Id love to stick around but I have to go meet up with an old friend. Two of us have to put our heads together and come up with a few ideas. But since I know you are looking for work I'll keep my ears open." She replied offering them a grin.

Stalker looked at the small girl smiling, "You're welcome, thanks again for the request. I'll keep my ear open and return the favor. Give me a call if you need anything and good luck with your chummer's problem", he gave her a grin, "Try to stay out of too much trouble."

"Vait one second" speaking to Raven. He grabs a napkin and a pencil from his pocket and jots done his address. "If you need any help, gun, blade, or odervise. You find Patch here." He slides the napkin over to Raven.

He then turns back to Stalker, "I must be going now too. I have job to finish" he pats his coat pocket as he stands to make his exit.

"Thank you both boys. I'll keep that in mind. I'm not sure what sort of pay scale you all work on but if I hear of anything I'll let you know. My friend Josie might be looking for me to do some body guard detail but ..." She paused. "I'd be doing it pro bono and just for a favor likely. But if you guys work in favors I might just have something for you both within the next hour. Heck if you wanted you guys could come to meet her anyhow. I'd feel safer having an escort into the area I'm heading into."

"I have nothing else going on at the moment and I'm always curious. I say no to very few things out of hand, so I'm more than willing to go along and play escort", he said with a grin.

"Thanks Stalker." Raven replied as she slid her bike helmet on. "You gonna come too Patch?"

Honcho · « **Reply #364 on:** »

August 15th 2:01 pm 2058 - Inside Crusher 495 - Patch

"Yes, I come. I need meet more people. Get more business." he moves to follow "How ve get dere?"

"you got wheels? If so just follow. Sadly I ride a bike so I cant really offer you a ride." Raven confessed.

Trellin · « **Reply #366 on:** »

August 15th 2:01 pm 2058 - Inside Crusher 495 - Stalker

"I'd offer you a ride, Patch, but I'm on a bike as well."

Raises hook to the pair, "I not ride bike since I get this. I do have vehicle. Take me minute to get, you vait, ya?"

The troll lumbers off down the street and disappears into an alley. Ten minutes later a hideous sound emanates from the alley. It sounds like 2 cats fighting in a dumpster but 10 times louder. Squeals and bangs, over an unsteady rumbling attacks the ears. The worst part is that it was getting louder. Then suddenly there it was, it's a van, you think. It's base color may have been pale green but the hood is black and the driver's side door is a combination of bondo red and white. There are several other bondo patches over the body that compliment the rusty and bullet shaped holes. The roof line is a smokey black as if stained from escaping flames.

The van squeals around the corner and flicks it's blueish black smoke tail as it approaches. The troll is behind the wheel and he pulls up beside Raven. "Ok I follow you."

August 15th 2:50 pm 2058 - Deep in the Barrens - Raven

Raven lead the way though the crumbling buildings and potted cracked streets. The were deep within the barrens. Out here not even the police dared to travel once the sun went down, and even then the preferred not to.

The drive was uneventful as they soaked in the squalor but managed to not run into any gangs.
The most eventful thing they encountered on their drive there was the burning car that someone had probably dumped and torched for insurance reasons. However Raven was right. It wasn't the sort of neighborhood you wanted to drive though solo.

There was a distinct look to the inhabitants in this area. Either they looked broken and without hope or they looked hardened hungry and desperate.

Raven drove to the meeting spot and turned off her bikes engine but did not get off the bike. She knew she was a few minutes early but more than likely Josie's look outs were already alerting her to their presence.

August 15th 2:55 pm 2058 - Loveland

It was a unique region of Seattle to say the least. It wasn't many places that you would see a troll with pink hair wearing fishnet stockings and not much more. There was more leopard print per square block than almost any other place in the city. It was Loveland, haven for hookers and degenerates alike and yet it was one of the safest places in the city. There were two things that kept it that way; greed and fear. None of the gangs wanted to have their own cash flow disrupted and no one wanted to mess with the self appointed sheriff of the area. He was only one man but power came in many forms and he was blessed with a considerable amount.

Josie wasn't long in arriving. Her motorcycle rumbled to a stop not far from Raven. She looked over the two men that had come with the tiny mage entirely for appearance's sake. she'd observed and made her conclusions regarding them already. The tall elf still wore her hair in a mohawk but it was shorter than when Raven last saw her, only mid back, rather than to her ass. Under her jacket a Seattle Seahawks jersey could be seen.

Of the four bikers with her, two had visible burn scars. The others didn't show any scarring but Raven knew that their burns just didn't show. It was an unspoken reminder of what the Mohawks owed Raven.

"Hey Raven. Sup?"

August 15th 2:50 pm 2058 - Loveland - Stalker

Stalker made sure to fall in directly behind Raven. There was no way he was getting behind that van and riding the entire way in that smoke trail. It was a monster. It certainly had character but it was a true beast. He enjoyed the ride but maintained a state of relaxed alertness knowing that this deep in the barrens there was always someone watching for an easy mark. The air was rich with the scents of smoke, rotting cloth and wood, rusting metal, old blood and scavenging animals. He pulled over when Raven did and killed his engine, looking around curiously.

August 15th 2:55 pm 2058 - Loveland - Raven

"I'm alright Josie but you sound like you got some problems." Raven said giving the tall elf a hearty hand shake as she climbed off her bike.. "This is Patch and Stalker, friends of mine. You don't mind them being here while you catch me up to speed on the current problem."

Trellin · « **Reply #372 on:** »

August 15th 2:55 pm 2058 - Loveland - Stalker

Stalker looked over the bikes and riders curiously as they pulled up. Stalker acknowledged Raven's introduction with a nod to Josie, gave a slight smirk, held up his right hand and said, "Hau. Nice to meet you, Josie."

Maxx · « **Reply #373 on:** »

August 15th 2:55 pm 2058 - Loveland - Josie

"Hey," Josie answered, nodding to Stalker. "You're kinda my last resort, Raven. After this I revert to breaking kneecaps and you know Dennis. He doesn't like violence. Odd trait for a football player but hey, he is an arts major. I know for a fact he's not gay though." Josie's little half smile said volumes about how she knew that particular fact. "How much do you know about college football?"

LadyJallyn · « **Reply #374 on:** »

August 15th 2:55 pm 2058 - Loveland - Raven

"Damn girl you go and get yourself some loving did ya?" Raven laughed. "Good stuff. Bet he didn't know what hit him. Sadly I'm afraid I'm not a huge sports buff since my talents lay in the arts department as well. I know you have a ball that two teams throw and kick all over the place to try to get it to the end zones of the opposing teams and that theres a lot of butt touching that goes on and sweaty man grappling but thats it."
